Summary:
Gilli Chai, a chain of tea outlets in the city, launched its first mobile tea service in association with MAUTO, which makes electric autorickshaws. The rear of these retro-fitted autorickshaws, which serve as mobile tea shops, bear a resemblance to food trucks we find in the city.

This is a win-win for both the parties as customers will get tea on-the-go and these women will earn a livelihood,” said Mohamed Rahmatullah, MD of Gilli Chai. The company aims to have 50 retrofitted autorickshaws on the road in a year..
